Strawberries win hand down

By Anne van Alkemade

Although the Saturday of Bacchus Marshs recent Strawberries and Cherries Trail was hindered by thunderstorms and bad weather in typical Victorian weather fashion the next day was perfect and brought out day trippers and locals alike to enjoy the event.

Participants were winners all round many enjoying  the various activities offered by local stores both ln The Avenue of Honouras well as the town centre and Bacchus Hill Winery While others taking part in tests competitions bake offs and other fun pasttimes were rewarded with various hampers of produce and products from local traders.

The event was in its second year organised by the Bacchus Marsh Tourism Association and promises to be a regular on the local events calender.

Being in a jam in Geoff Camm’s household doesn’t mean the usual ‘problem’. It’s more likely that you’re enjoying some of Geoff’s award winning strawberry jam; Geoff is presented with his prize for winning the Strawberries and Cherries Trail jam making competition by Glenda Jones.

Not only dvd the Dixon famlly of Burnside have a lovely day when they joined in the Strawberries and Cherries Trail in Bacchus Marsh recently but they had to make a return visit to collect the hamper they won for participating in the trail competition.
